  ****************************************************************
  When an application creates a passticket using userid, applid
  and groupid an EXEC CICS SIGNON USERID(u) PASSWORD(passticket)
  GROUPID(g) is issued. CICS verifies the password without passing
  the GROUPID parameter to the ESM and so the validate of the
  passticket fails.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHXSSB, DFHXSPW and DFHUSAD have been changed to allow
  passtickets to be verified using groupid.
